Snow Angels in Ecuador Services (2018-2022)

Our Work

Many people are living in the streets and alleys of Cuenca, Ecuador. They have little food nor a living wage to provide for their families. Most of these disenfranchised people lack the most basic human needs. Snow Angels in Ecuador is dedicated to making a difference in the lives of as many people as we can. We provide food supplements weekly and some essential medical needs, including dental and occasional prostheses to disabled and elderly people in the “Centro” area of the city. We also lend support to several charitable programs in the Cuenca community.

About Snow Angels in Ecuador

About Us

Snow Angels in Ecuador is the first 501 c 3, tax-exempt charity based in the United States that is exclusively devoted to working within Ecuador. As one of many countries almost devoid of the necessary infrastructure to meet its population’s social service needs, the people of Ecuador require whatever assistance we can provide. Joel Munn established Snow Angels in Ecuador to help wherever and however we can.

Happy Ecuadorian boy.

Our Mission

Our mission is to provide financial and administrative assistance to responsible charitable human service organizations in and surrounding the city of Cuenca to ensure their sustainability and growth.

Our Vision

Our vision is to make a difference in people’s lives by developing an infrastructure that can deliver a higher volume and quality of human services on an ongoing basis for the working poor of Ecuador.

Our Plan

After many years of experience in the non-profit field in the education of snow sports professionals, our plan is to turn our talents and energy to improving the lives of the less fortunate.

Testimonials

Snow Angels in Ecuador strongly believes that a charitable organization’s actions should speak as loudly as their promises to be the change we need in a community. Below are just a few testimonials from a few of our partners and supporters who can back up our claims and vouch for our work’s value. We believe their words carry more credibility than anything we can for ourselves, as we’re grateful for their kinds words.

"Half a century ago I played football with Joel Munn...”

Half a century ago I played football with Joel Munn in high school, and when we went to the same college, we became Hippies together, This was at the height of the Peace and Love movement, and we had many talks about the potential of humans to create a better world…. The work Joel and his team, are doing is amazing. He is helping real people at a grassroots level. He just sent me some pics of men who have prosthetic legs, thanks to his organization. Check out the photos and information on his website. I can’t express how proud I am that I am Joel’s friend and how good I feel about the work he and his team are doing.

"As human beings we have different walks of life."

As human beings we have different walks of life. I have been and am lucky in terms of what I have and have had during life. As a professional ski instructor I have had the pleasure to work with Joel Munn and during one of our chats he mentioned “Snowangels”. After reading and looking into how “Snowangels” work and what they achieve it was 100% clear that this is an organization to support. “Snowangels” has helped so many to a better life in small and grand! I will continue to contribute as much and as long as I can.
